“I’ve just bought another camera from Peter, and as I’ve come to expect, the camera is as described, except that as usual, it’s even better than the description would lead one to expect. The only surprises I’ve experienced when buying from Peter have been pleasant ones!”
“I’ve been very happy with a number of purchases over the past six years. Canon rangefinder cameras and lens most recently. Peter is a highly reliable seller, great to deal with and excellent communication. Items are posted by SD very quickly too. Highly recommended”
“Everything I’ve ever ordered from Peter has been better than described. Always a pleasure to deal with. Items arrive on time and packed right. He provides his clients with considerate attention. You can tell he takes great pride in selling top notch photography equipment. If you’re ever looking for anything photographic - check his site first before going anywhere else!”
“Long admiration for Zeiss Ikonta folders and quite a collection of them in all 120 formats, but a special interest in the 16 on 120 size because it is one of few pre-war cameras you could carry in a pocket and use discretely. Saw a Super version on Peter's list and decided to buy. Delivered in less than 24 hours. A super camera in every way, far beyond Peter's rating. I believe one of the very first series ever issued. A very satisfied customer.”
“Peter Loy has been quietly providing his clients with impeccably identified and described vintage cameras, with utter reliability, for so many years, that I can no longer recall a time he wasn't in the business.
You do not stick around that long when dealing with customers as fickle, and particular (as the typical collector of vintage Leicas is), without doing something very right.
There is nothing tricky in Peter's business model. No 21st Century jingo. Simply good old-fashioned customer service, camera descriptions that are rock-solid, and complete professionalism.
My most recent purchase, a lovely Leica IIIf was precisely as he promised, and I did not doubt for an instant that this would be the case.
I can't recommend him highly enough.”
“I recently purchased a Leica 50mm f2 Summicron L39 lens from Peter.
I received a courteous and efficient response detailing as to when I might expect the lens to arrive, this was on a Friday morning.
The lens arrived very well packaged the next morning having travelled to the North East of Scotland.
It's condition was much better than I had anticipated from the grading.
I look forward to dealing again with Peter Loy, who regularly update their site.
Ian”
“Ich bin mit Peter Loy sehr zufrieden, sehr gewissenhaft und anständig. Die Ware ist treffend beschrieben und die Kaufabwicklung ist problemlos und schnell, zudem waren die Kameras sicher und gut verpackt.
Sehr zu empfehlen.”
“I bought from the online stockist a lens attachment for an old Ziess camera. It was in stunning condition complete with beautiful leather case, received within three days of placing the order and expertly packaged. I couldn't have wanted a better service and I will definitely be shopping here again.”
“I would like to assign a top score due to the excellent item description and reliability of purchase handling;
the speed of shipment processing was also remarkable.
Thanks,
Persio”
“Items bought from Peter Loy are invariably very speedily despatched, very well-packed and usually in even better condition than the description might suggest. I would recommend Peter without a second's hesitation.”
“Over the years I’ve bought many Leica cameras - 2 X MDa bodies, 2 X Leicaflex SL plus lenses and accessories. Last Christmas my partner asked what I’d like and I said that a Leica 1a would be the pinnacle of my little collection. Where to buy.? Only one place: Peter Loy. Was out on Christmas Day and Boxing Day shooting with this 1930-made camera.
As good as the day it was new. Don’t go anywhere else, that’s what I say.”
“I enjoy buying from Peter Loy, and this time was no exception - a fine Voigtlander strut folding camera. The grading is very conservative, the camera is in very fine condition, and price competitive. Fast shipping and carefully packed. Recommended without hesitation.”
“Descriptions are excellent so you know exactly what you are purchasing, and the stock list is updated regularly. Both cameras I bought are first class.”
“I have bought from Peter many times over the past 10 years or so, as well as ebay and othe shops. Peter Loy's gradings are FAR more Conservative than others. Every purchase has exceeded my expectations and I have no hesitation in recommending him to others.”
